Clearly Adam and I are still getting this whole ‘travel blogger’ thing nailed down and have become total slackers lately. While it was easy to keep up with it at the beginning, especially in India where everyday felt like a crazy adventure, as we got further into our trip we slipped. We’re now in the…

Before arriving in Berlin we actually knew very little about Germany. Our entire decision to take our 3 month break in the country came after spending just one day (a 14 hour layover) in Frankfurt this past Spring. Berlin itself was never even a part of our original travel plans, but as we began to…

Berlin’s Festival of Lights, which is held for 10 nights every October, prides itself as ‘One of the world’s largest illumination festivals’ and it certainly didn’t disappoint. As a fan of anything light related I was so excited when I realized we would actually be in town for it. It seems like everywhere we have…

As you may know we’re currently spending 5 weeks in Turkey. What you might not know is that 3.5 of those weeks fall during Ramadan. You may be thinking that going to Turkey in the middle of the summer, especially during Ramadan, might not have been the best idea…and you’d be right. So why are…

We just celebrated our six-monthaversary of travel, and we thought it would be fun to take a look at where we’ve been and what we’ve done, by the numbers. Miles Traveled: 45,315. This is “as the crow flies” mostly, so we’ve actually traveled many more miles, but it’s a good approximation. Modes of Transportation: 13….

It’s hard to believe but it’s been 6 months since we boarded the plane to India that kicked off our ‘Around the World’ adventure! Some days it feels like we’ve been traveling for a couple weeks and some days our ‘old lives’ feel 100 years away. Luckily on most days, like today as we explored…

(Our apologies for the lack of photos. Because we assumed we would have time to revisit stops after our Apartheid Museum visit we didnt snap any pictures on our first go around. Shame on us, lesson learned!) One of our favorite things to do in big cities is take the Hop-on Hop-Off bus (or HoHo)….

(NOTE: While I feel weird calling Johannesburg ‘Jo’burg’, since I normally consider tourists/travelers adopting local names douchey, it’s impossible not use the nickname. EVERYONE calls it that and you actually seem like a bit of a tool if you insist on using the full name, although I can’t bring myself to call it Jozie) Following…

(This is the sixth post in our Southern Africa Road Trip Series. Feel free to start at the beginning: Let’s Road Trip Through Southern Africa!) The drive from Swakopmund to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, is about 1,000 miles. We covered it in a few days, stopping along the way to sample bits of central and eastern…

(This is the fifth post in our Southern Africa Road Trip Series. Feel free to start at the beginning: Let’s Road Trip Through Southern Africa!) We awoke early for our ATV adventure, in which we would be riding ATVs through the desert on some of the world’s largest sand dunes. Neither of us had ridden…
